Blur tool in Photoshop for iPad?

Question

Hello.

I'm using photoshop for iPad (latest version) however I cannot find the blur tool in order to blur specific portions of my photo like I can on my pc version (I see other tools like healing brush, dodge, etc). I do NOT want to blur the entire photo. Can someone please tell me where this tool is hiding? The "user guide" is absolutely no help at all 😭

Thank you!

Photoshop for Desktop has both a Blur tool and a Smudge tool.

While Photoshop for iPad has a Smudge tool as explained my M Glush, it does not have a Blur tool.

The only Blur Filter in PS for iPad is Gaussian (right-side panel in Filters and Adjustments). To limit the area, make a selection first.

To make a feature request for the developers, create a new post and select Ideas instead of Discussions.

Hi,Here is a help doc for the Smudge tool to blend colors together in Photoshop for the iPad: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/smudge-tool-ipad.htmlTake a look and see if this is what you are looking for. Directions for blurring:Tap the Adjustment tools icon from the toolbar to reveal the tool options and select the Smudge tool. Choose your brush settings - Size, Strength, and Hardness - for the desired blending mode. Let us know if this helps!Michelle
